We consider the maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation of parameters prediction future records Weibull distribution from δ -record data, which consists near-records. discuss existence, consistency numerical computation estimators predictors. The performance proposed methodology is assessed by Montecarlo simulations analysis monthly rainfall series. Our conclusion that inferences for model, based on clearly improve solely records. This can be recommended, more so as near-records collected...

The objective of this study was to analyse persistence lipid-lowering drug use for primary prevention cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a new users cohort, explore all-cause and related morbidity, comorbidity mortality group and, finally, the relationship between morbimortality. We selected subjects who started treatment CVD 1 January 2010 31 December 2017 (N = 1424), classified them as treatment-persistent or -nonpersistent. Bivariate analyses were performed compare sociodemographic clinical...

Assessment of the influence cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) on event (CVE) using machine learning algorithms offers some advantages over preexisting scoring systems, and better enables personalized medicine approaches to prevention. Using data from four different sources, we evaluated outcomes three for CVE prediction combinations predictive variables analysed CVRF-related when included in these algorithms. A cohort study based a male workers applying populational was conducted. The...

Abstract Background Some cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) that occur differently in men and women can be addressed to reduce the of suffering a major adverse event (MACE). Furthermore, development MACE is highly influenced by social determinants health. Counterfactual decomposition analysis new methodology has potential used disentangle role different health inequalities. This study aimed assess sex differences incidence estimate how much difference could attributed prevalence diabetes,...

The identification of the cardiovascular risk factor (CVRF) profile individual patients is key to prevention disease (CVD), and development personalized preventive approaches. Using data from annual medical examinations in a cohort workers, aim study was characterize evolution CVRFs CVD score (SCORE) over three time points between 2009 2017. For descriptive analyses, mean, standard deviation, quartile values were used for quantitative variables, percentages categorical ones. Cluster analysis...

In this study, we analyzed the effectiveness of statin therapy for primary prevention cardiovascular disease (CVD) in low- and medium-risk patients. Using observational data, estimated by emulating a hypothetical randomized clinical trial comparing initiators with non-initiators. Two approaches were used to adjust potential confounding factors: matching inverse probability weighting marginal structural models. The estimates obtained intention-to-treat per-protocol analysis. analysis revealed...
